Who we are

The Centre for Conscious Leadership (CCL) www.ccls@co.za founded by organisational psychologists Heidi Carter and Karin Osler in 2003, who together, have more than 40 years of combined experience in strategic alignment, organisational, leadership, team, and individual transformation processes both locally and overseas. Based in South Africa, CCL is a consulting business comprising a high-calibre network of experienced and competent professionals who have worked together across a range of assignments for many years. Our experience working internationally, in Africa and locally in South Africa has given us exposure to many complex and diverse experiences and cultures. Our work spans private sector organisations, governmental organisations, public sector institutions and not-for-profit. ​
​

Our expertise is to identify the unique challenges a company is facing, and support leaders, and teams in designing and facilitating customised fit-for-purpose seamless and effective processes to address their needs. Partnership with our clients lies at the core of how we work. While we inject emerging best practice and our professional expertise, our experience with clients over many years is testimony to co-developed pragmatic solutions through enduring relationships and partnerships that effect lasting change.​

In these complex and rapidly changing times we believe that leaders need to “dig deep” to resource themselves and others, in their quest to lead and often fundamentally reshape their organisations to ensure they thrive and make a meaningful contribution to society. Yesterday’s rules and behaviours are no longer enough: leaders of today require a high degree of emotional maturity, self–awareness, resilience, and steadfastness. The challenge is enormous. We aspire to helping leaders deal with the complex challenges of these times through deepening their awareness, insights, self-understanding, agility, and effectiveness. We are passionate about people and supporting leaders in creating collaborative cultures that foster high levels of engagement, inclusion, and the psychological safety required to achieve excellent delivery and impactful results.​
